Know before you buy
No, this specific model is precision-engineered exclusively for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition PCB layout. It will not fit other RTX 4080 variants or different GPU models.
Yes, the block arrives with thermal paste and pads pre-applied to the critical components. This simplifies the installation process and ensures you have the correct amount of material for optimal heat transfer.
Yes, the block features 16 addressable RGB LEDs. You can customize the lighting effects and colors using Corsair iCUE software when connected to a compatible Corsair RGB controller.
The block uses standard G1/4 BSPP threads. This is the industry standard, allowing you to use almost any common custom water cooling fitting compatible with your tubing size.
Yes, the full-length aluminum backplate provides structural rigidity to prevent GPU sag and assists in passive heat dissipation for the components located on the back of the PCB.
The block features a clear acrylic flow path, which allows you to visually inspect the coolant movement and ensure there are no air bubbles trapped within the system.
